They played teen clubs in the area like the Oasis and Discoteen, and a couple shows on the Hollywood strip with the Leaves and the Seeds. Their repertoire was all covers, mostly influenced by the Stones and other English groups.
Russ Johnson and Earl Shackelford wrote two songs just for the recording session, the first originals the band had ever played. They recorded at 9th Street studio in LA in August of 1966, with Richard Delvy, drummer for the Challengers engineering. Vic Gargano financed the record - he also produced the Tomorrows' La Do Da Da / Need Only You on Condor. Without the band's knowledge Gargano had a studio musician add guitar parts to enliven the sound. Although this upset the group, the resulting single is fantastic.
Pretty Little Thing features Bruce's sliding bass line, precise drumming from Soupy, and a raging organ solo by Ken Zabel. Earl's vocal has elements of Jagger's inflections but his voice is stronger. Somebody's Girl is more subdued but also powerful. Despite the quality of the record, it received little airplay.
The band returned to the studio to record more tracks for an album which was never finished. Soupy Morrow had an acetate of the sessions, but it has not surfaced since. These tracks are probably more psychedelic in nature, reflecting the influence of Earl's friend Chris Darrow on his songwriting. Earl had met Chris at the Forum Club in Montclair when Chris was with the Floggs. Earl would write three fine songs for Chris Darrow's next band, Kaleidoscope: I Found Out, Egyptian Candy, and Love Games.
Lacking success and headed in different musical directions, the band split up. Soupy died in a motorcycle accident in 1967, and Rick Edwards was killed in a car crash the following year while on tour. Earl stayed in music, notably forming Wheels with Chris Darrow and Walter Egan, and arranging vocal harmonies on Iggy Pop's New Values album.

The Deepest Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now all that I need is all I see in you
And only you
And if you get lost I'll always find you
You're all that I need your heart will keep you true
My only you
You make me fall and I can't sleep
And I can't give it away
I just can't give it away
When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Just give it away
Just give it away
Don't ever forget to tell somebody
The feelings inside
To make your dreams come true
I dream of you
To feel so alive and want somebody
It's not make believe
My world would be for you
And only you
You make me fall and I can't sleep
You want it all but it's too deep
And I can't give it away
I just can't give it away
When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Just give it away
Just give it away
When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Just give it away
Just give it away
(I'm giving it away)
(Giving it away, giving it way)
(Giving it away)
